Frank on the North Tower of St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna   April 08, 2025 I visited St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna today and took a tour of the north tower (it cost 7€ and was worth it). They have an elevator (or "lift") that can hold about 4 people that goes up to the top. There are tall steel fences all around, so it feels pretty secure, not at all nervewracking. But the fences have holes that a camera lens can easily fit through allowing pictures of the vista. I asked a random person who was taking pictures if she'd take oen of me, and in exchange, I took one of her with her phone (at more than an arm's distance away). It is an impressive cathedral, and thinking about how something that big was built nearly 900 years ago makes it all the more impressive. The full-resolution photo is here.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
